The winner of our inaugural Process Heating & Cooling Innovation Award is Robert J. Ferguson of French Creek Software, Valley Forge, Pa. The award, presented at the 2022 Process Heating & Cooling Show, recognized Rob’s recognizes the result of his life’s work: improving cooling water treatment.

Understand current trends in industrial cooling water treatment and water treatment options such as non-phosphorus water treatment chemicals and engineered copper filmers.

An annual charity golf tournament hosted by SPX Cooling Technologies Inc., Overland Park, Kan., on May 19, raised more than $65,000 for two organizations. 

Absorption chillers offer distinct, and sometimes surprising, advantages for industrial cooling applications. To truly evaluate the cost-effectiveness of an absorption chiller, it is critical to take into account how COPs correspond with actual energy costs.

In cooling towers, biofilms cause microbial-induced corrosion (MIC) and equipment failures; in membrane systems, biofilms cause scaliing and reduce the life of the equipment. Learn how one pharmaceutical company handled the problem when biological fouling threatened their process.

AquaMaster4 Mobile Comms provides wireless, continuous flow measurement. 

In applications from chemical processing to plastics to food processing, heavy-duty industrial cooling towers provide effective cooling.

Almost every manufactured product uses water somewhere in the production process. According to the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), industrial water is used for fabricating, processing, washing, diluting, cooling or transporting products. 

Brentwood Industries Inc. acquired Enexio’s Water Technologies business unit from Kelvion. 

Over its operating lifetime, nearly every industrial chiller runs at 100 percent capacity only 1 percent of the time. In other words, 99 percent of the time, most industrial chillers operate at partial-load conditions. Using variable-speed technology can help improve the energy efficiency of process chillers.
